UPM CEO Jussi Pesonen Named European CEO of the Year, Paper360º March/April 2019

For his “consistent delivery in providing shareholders stable returns in a volatile market,” as one nominator wrote, UPM’s Jussi Pesonen has been named the Fastmarkets RISI 2019 European CEO of the Year. Pesonen is expected to accept the award at the Fastmarkets RISI European Conference in Vienna, Austria, in early March. The European CEO of the Year Award is nominated by a group of investment analysts, industry consultants, and commentators covering the European and global pulp and paper industry.

Pesonen received high praise from nominators. “His diligent efforts (resulted) in the transformation of UPM from a business that was primarily focused on paper production to one that has broadened its reach across the paper and pulp market,” wrote one analyst. “To deliver on such a long-term project with such clear mindedness is admirable. He should be seen as a leader of the industry that others can learn from.”
